Still Getting That Thrill
 

Well, I have almost 38,000 miles on my '05 and I still get that same thrill driving my 8 as I did on the first drive. Nothing like chewing up a winding road in the 8.

I'm still so smitten with it that I get a smile on my face just looking at it when it's parked.

So, you can compare the 8 to other cars all you want and throw all sorts of performance numbers at me, but the 8 is it for me. (Ok, at least until I can afford the Carrera GT).

Anyone else with bunch of miles on their 8 feel that way too?

54,000 and I still feel that way. Last Sat is was 60 here in Jersey and I washed it by hand. I love the way it looks after a bath. But the best time is when I leave work and see it there waiting for my 50-minute drive home.

Well said. I've put about 8000 miles on my 8. Nothing about it gets old, it definitely makes a day worthwhile.

Yeah the car really stirs the soul, still breaking in my car so i haven't really pushed her to her limits(9k rpm :Eyecrazy: ), but its still a blast hitting long sweepers, off ramps,on ramps and some curvy road on my daily commute at pretty intense speed!

This car is so THERAPUTIC! After a bad day at the office, within 5 min of driving her i am back smiling and life is good again. :hahano:

I took a drive in the new Acura TL, nice features, lots of tech stuff but driving it was blah, my 95 Volvo 850 Turbo drives a little nicer. When I left in the 8 I was back in love, driving the 8 is awesome, the handling is unbeatable.

I'm the same way with about 38,000 miles here as well. For all the complaining that takes place here, it's nice to know other people "get it".

Only 26,000 so far... pure driving pleasure... there is nothing like a rotary!

There is an emotional connection there that I just cannot explain? I love my 8:)
